About the volunteering opportunity
seniorpartner in School - Bundesverband e.V. supports children and young people in resolving conflicts in a non-violent way, thereby strengthening social skills, self-confidence and good cooperation in schools. Our volunteer school mediators are present at schools, listen, accompany and create spaces in which young people can develop their own solutions. SiS has been growing nationwide for over two decades and is now active in 14 state associations with over 1,500 mediators at around 460 schools.
For the establishment of a new location in Stuttgart, we are looking for a committed volunteer founding team of 3-5 people to develop and set up the location together with the Baden-Württemberg state association and the federal association.
